Protecting Watches from Electricity

The electric railroads are magne,izing y
great many watches, said leweler, The
watches become as thoroughly magnciizsd
as though brought within the range OF a
dynamo, Here are three watches sent TO
mo from Scranton. Pa, to be demagnet-
lied. The jeveler that sent them said he
had thirty. 1--WE 10 the same condition.
Can they DO made to resist the influence
Of the electricity ventured reporter.
Oh, yes. II we put 10 shield made
for the purpose they are all right This
is the way il works
The ieweler took an ordinary watch GOV.
or. put steel pen it and moved magnet
on the outside OF the cover The pen fol-
lowed the movements OF the magnet He
did the same With pen in one OF the
shields, but the magnet was powerless
la some OF the iner watches We put a
double shield, he continued, aud plate
over the dial We protected watch for
Wee President G. f. Chinook, OF the Ed.
ison company, He used it two years
while superintendent in their place 10
Pearl street, and walked between two big
dynamos with it without tho watch being
disturbed Those dynamos are the larg
est in the world, 100 horse power each,
aud each will lift 1000 pounds. They
took an umbrella right away from me.
Has there been any particular distub
ance Of watches this summer
1t has been very great. The electrical
condition OF the atmosphere this season
has doubled the business in mainspringe.
More handspring have been broken than
has ever been known before. Nearly all
the watches taken 10 for repairs this sea
son have had broken mainsprngs.
Is the effect Of the electric railways gen.
eral
Every watch carried on an electric rail-
way will be magnetized unless IL has a
shield. Every lever on an ordinary en-
CINE is magnet of itself by reason of the
earth's inductiye force. Many railroad
require their engineers and
to have their watches protect
by shields. Much of the trouble OF
watches being out Of time resulting in ac-
,idents is due to this cause.
